Having ran a couple where I invited a couple of prem teams, I spoke to multiple prem players before I announced it about the map pool as I wanted to put some non played maps in (specifically subbase as its my favorite map) and they all said they wouldn't be able to get a team of 6 to play these maps.

I think the only way to actually get top players to play these maps would be to throw up a pretty big prize pool, maybe a few people come together and make a large prize pool? I know for myself I'd be happy to throw a couple hundred bucks in but im not footing a 5k bill like the jump world cup and I don't expect any other individual to do so.

To future parents, this is an example of why you make your kids go outside.

If you are going to use mouse accel you 100% shouldn't use windows default use raw accel.

However general consensus is it is a limiting factor long term.
This is the best video ive seen on mouse acceleration:

Assuming you're using obs like everyone else.
Right click your screen or game capture -> click add filter -> choose colour correction -> adjust brightness (or gamma or contrast or whatever else you want to)

Every time your mouse sends input, your CPU processes it, so the better your CPU, the higher polling rate it can usually handle without issues.

Using 1000Hz or lower isn’t bad, but it might put you at a slight disadvantage in TeamFortress 2 or other fast-paced games.
This video breaks it down really well:

I’ve used a Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro with the HyperPolling dongle (goes up to 8000Hz), and now I’m using the HSK Pro 4K (which, as the name suggests, supports 4000Hz). In my experience, 2000Hz feels like the sweet spot being both fast and stable with no performance hits on my 9950X3D.

If your PC can handel higher rates just fine, there’s no harm in cranking it up. Even a tiny bump in response time is technically an advantage.

With the flat textures custom mod found at (https://gamebanana.com/mods/295065) translucent textures become fully transparent. You can manually import textures into a custom\FlatTexturesV1\materials folder. Does anyone know of anyway in which to filter by specific files that are translucent or the name of these specific "fence" like files (no they aren't all files called fence I did check).
If you are confused on what I mean check the attached imgur gallery.

If you care about the performance or just hate change the commands are:

r_lightmap_bicubic 0
r_radialfog_force 0

1 to enable them.
Just add these to you're autoexec.
Took me a while to find so hope this helps someone.
You're welcome :)

Why ask tf tv?

My current Auto exec and my preloader is at the bottom and looks like this

mod_load_anims_async 0
mod_load_mesh_async 0
mod_load_vcollide_async 0
mod_touchalldata 1
mod_forcedata 1
sv_pure 0
map preload_room; wait 10; disconnect; echo "Custom Content Loaded"

I will be playing casual everything fine then suddently when i change class it unloades everything, for example left hand fix for original and comp view models just disappear on soldier randomly. Any idea what causes this and how to fix? It was fine then I updated a bunch of graphics stuff in my auto exel now its fucked.

I was debating doing this for a couple of current prem teams.
"The Chokers that won prem" talking about how MANDEM went from being the chokers to winning.
"How a full french team won prem" talking about for fence.

I tbh dont think it would get many views for the effort put in.
A similar style to https://www.youtube.com/@turndownforwalt in Melee would maybe be cool but its such a high effort count. Maybe one day.

Thank you. Turns out you cant use demoui and have to type playdemo filename for it to work...
